you are most likely too low IQ to discover that in an endless open world sandbox universe of a game there is a lot of things to do.
u probably need constant waypoints and quests to keep yourself busy.
the only things you've ever fully explored in life is your homosexual tendencies and the Taco Bell womens bathroom (bc ur a fucking tranny that wears diapers and plays Starfield)

because none of the updates ever improve the main dogshit gameplay of scanning rocks to upgrade scanner to scan more rocks

you can't even have fun with friends because the co-op isn't real co-op

I am enjoying myself a lot. I got the portable refiner built in my exosuit. Got the trader rocket. Got some maps I am doing, gonna get money and get my first new ship. The story missions are a bit meh, 5 hours in and still trying to find Artemis but I've been sidetracked lol.

Live footage of anon discovering that sandbox games where all you do is gather resources and build structures are fun for about 3 hours and then it gets boring.

I bounce on it every once in a while, mess around with the new patch stuff and then shelf it for a few months. It's not a game you can realistically play every game without going insane from boredom.
I recently finished my corvette, got it to S rank and now I'm done until they add more cool stuff.

it means you exist next to each other and kind of do your own thing around each other but you never actually cooperate on anything the game is all self improvement and self upgrades and there's no much combat which is the only real point where you coop is killing shit together

none of this is true though unless you start on permadeath
you do not actually have to recharge anything unless you fuck around for 20 minutes before fixing your ship, that's on you
also paradise worlds don't contain aggressive sentinels
also the game does not force you to do anything, it's just a quest you either follow or don't, you can freely do whatever you want
what do you even gain by lying like this?

>there is a lot of things to do.
There aren't. There's only a couple of things to do and you do them over and over again until you realize you're just doing the same shit repeatedly until you finally realize how boring and repetitive it is and then uninstall the game.
If you want a game that does exploration right, play Underspace.

>>720647146
The first couple hours of the game can be unmitigated misery if your spawning point was bad and you're playing on survival.
One of the worst video game intros ever to be honest. It's unfun, it's unfair, it's slow and miserably boring. Everything it teaches you becomes worthless after this because you'll be rolling in money and just buying every item you need for basic recharging or crafting.
They did at least add a skip option when you start though.

>>720647443
this is a legit complaint. Game is amazing and half-assed at the same time.

>>720647443
The only animal or vehicle worth capturing for riding are the flying giant beetles. They're very fast and hover straight over any terrain. They're great for scouting surrounding areas.
But yes everything else sucks fucking ass, I'm made that I wasted time trying to craft them all on my previous save.

>>720648248
not even remotely true. the wildlife combinations is endless. i have this giant dinosaur i made a pet that i spawn at the anomaly to trip ppl out. huge reason to collect cool pets.

>>720647860
It's crazy that underspace is all just one guy on like a 10 thousand budget. Kind of wish he had a full studio

>>720648109
I wouldn't say it's amazing. It's got potential to be amazing but the reality is the devs don't have any interest in making a good game and would rather just throw bullshit fluff content at the retarded fans' way to try to distract them from the fact that the game is at its core, a shit game. There's no real exploration to be had in the game. Once you've seen one planet in the game you've seen basically everything they've got to offer. Points of interests across planets are all the same and they all consist of 1-2 room buildings with negligible loot to find. The only exception to this are crashed freighters which, again, are all the same copied and pasted crash site. The game doesn't even have points of interests unique to specific biomes (I'm pretty sure even that piece of shit Starbound did this)
Space is empty and bland. There's no incentive to cruise around solar systems because there's nothing interesting to find in space. Sometimes you'll get a signal that'll encourage you to drop out of warp speed when you're cruising between planets but it's almost never anything interesting and even when it's something that has potential to be interesting like the abyssal egg thing it just turns out to be nothing more than decoration that basically serves no purpose and just kind of exists.
Furthermore, there's never any sense of danger and excitement. Everything in the game is just kind of babyproofed. Everything that's potentially dangerous is labeled as such. If you're planetside and not sure if something can hurt you, all you have to do is look at it through your scanner to see if there's a big red exclamation mark above it. Most dangerous things aren't actually all that dangerous and even if they are truly dangerous you have to really go out of your way for them to become an actual threat. It's even worse in space where the only threat you face are pirates. There's no unknown dangers and thus never any sense of danger or excitement.

>>720647641
I duno how I'm being accused of lying when I simply recounted what happened to me, but whatever, maybe I was wrong about it being a paradise world but it fucking looked like one

>>720647952
I'd hoped they would have fixed that by now, I did roll the difficulty above normal, maybe I'll try again and skip the intro in future

>>720641107
OP is right but it's still fun to build permanentish structures. but yeah they need to add 50% more random content and better interactivity. it's alright otherwise.

>>720646720
Is galaxy 255 where the proc gen suddenly becomes good, planets have large, bustling alien cities, and the space stations don't all look the same?

All I wanted was to play in VR and skim the surface of planets while zipping through the clouds. Too bad their engine is dog shit and even on a 9950x3D and RTX 5090, it still runs like dog shit on a Valve Index nevermind some modern headset with 4x the pixels to render.

>>720649675
I was running it fine on a 7800x3d and 3090. At least until this most recent update, which completely broke the game. Now it won't run longer than five minutes without crashing. I don't know if that's exclusive to VR or not.

>>720649726

I've always hated when people say "I wanted to like it" and similar phrases. I thought it was stupid. I get it now. I wanted to like No Man's Sky. I have like 80 hours in the game. Because every once in a while, I'll think to myself that I really want to play a space game where I explore planets in VR, then boot up the game, get bored like ten hours in because I fucking hate "survival craft" games, then uninstall. Then the process keeps repeating.

>>720650832
>survival craft
good thing there's creative mode then

>>720647952
Don't forget it takes several hours even if you rush through it because the tutorial doesn't end until you finish the artemis path, as the new planets, alien race and probably even more shit in the future is locked behind doing that

>>720650832
I don't think I hate survival craft, I've played Abiotic Factor and liked it a lot. I just hate survival craft slop where they let a random number generator try and make the fun for them.

>>720651216
Creative Mode doesn't fix the game's main problem that it's two primary systems are completely at odds with each other and are fundamentally incompatible. If the point is to reach the center of a functionally infinite galaxy, why the fuck would I want to build a house somewhere?

>>720641107
it's alright but the game basically relies entirely on your desire to build things, be it your frigate, planetary bases or now corvette. There's really no other purpose to the resources you'll be collecting loads of, and the mission stuff seems pretty transparently repetitive and boring.

>>720646226
I can't even imagine grinding all the nanites you'd need to do that, unless there's some super fast method I just don't know about.

>>720651424
you can at any point return to your base via teleporters, which every space station has. from what I've seen it's hardly worth reaching the center more than once anyway, you only really need to finish the main plot once to unlock the ability to do the autophage shit so you can get access to purple star systems

>>720651957
well if you want to get to a special galaxy and not use a code provided by other players you could have to hit the center 4 times

>>720651424
I'd hardly call base building a main system, when was the last time it received an update that wasn't just a reskin of the wall textures? Most of the stuff a base can do can be done on a freighter with exception of factories, which you visit once per day and isn't much different from freighter fleets and settlements as it's just passive income generator on a timer and not a house, and actual houses people build to save planets they like, but even if bases didn't exist you could still just find the portal and it's glyph coordinates to "save" a planet you like and return to it

I like NMS a lot but having lots of things to do isn't intrinsically fun for everyone. NMS is a good game for autists who have a vision of what they want to achieve in the game then set out on doing it.
But that's not fun for everyone. Some people want narratives structures, interesting characters, engaging combat systems, etc.

There is a lot that i like here, but i will buy it if they ever do things that let you build a space empire, like colonization

No Man's Sky'ses number 1 fan here,
here are some problems I have had for FAR TOO LONG that I want Sean to see:

>Main quest is total dogshit and needs a second overhaul. It tricks new players into thinking this is the most boring game ever made where all you do is craft fuel and shoot rocks as you chase lame upgrades across the galaxy. It's the number one reason people insist this game hasn't changed after all this time and why player retention is routinely in the gutter.
>First-person animations are placeholders where you don't even have hands. This is outrageously cheap and lazy to still have as a problem. It's another problem that affects refund percentages.
>Unique Staff weapon with complex acquisition method similar to a lightsaber is just a high-stat rifle with janky default animations and no melee bonus. Ridiculously lazy implementation of what could have been an interesting sci-fi/fantasy hybrid weapon.
>No on-foot pirates
>No humanoid enemies whatsoever despite slaughtering pirates in orbit by the millions
>Nearly all on-foot danger requires a player to actively seek it out. Dynamic on-foot content is severely out-of-focus in general
>Can have multiple AI followers but no hand-picked personal away-team/alien-bro crew like the Squadron system. This is a big one that would put a band-aid on every other gripe for me.
>Zero low-level dungeons of any kind.
>Only 1 form of dungeon with 1 variant, Derelicts in space with genetic anomalies aboard

Lastly,

you may have not picked up on a theme of the game because im getting illiterate nigr vibes from you but the concepts of "the first, and the last" is within the games primary quest storyline. this gets revisited as a theme with the creation of purple systems (things the atlas had previously deleted) but the first galaxy Euclid is both the beginning and ending loop of the whole game. getting to game accessible system 255 is the "end of the game in terms of travel distance possible" then getting to the center of that system warps you back to euclid, the first system. its fundamentally a game about exploration and finding new things which some ppl who dont have a true sense of adventure may not find compelling enough to actually reach galaxy 255, the end. but i digress, you most likely never even installed the hermetic seal and as a result never even left your starting planet. which was both your beginning, and end. embarrassing, and very sad.

>>720647443
>Exocraft as fast as running
That's complete bullshit. Did you just not install the boost or jumping on any of them?
The hovercraft in particular goes insanely megafast if you jump and boost. Way faster than any jetpack lunge by several magnitudes.

Exocrafts also let you echo-locate structures that cannot be pinpointed otherwise, making them one of the most useful things in the game.

Lastly, you can stay inside them on hell planets to save a shitload of resources.

Anyone saying exocrafts are useless are just fucking stupid.

>>720650819
The main quest is easily the worst thing about the game at this point.

>>720641107
This is the first game in a long time that just doesn't recognize my Xbone controller. What gives?

I'm having fun but only when the game works. Like there's no point in using any refiner besides the backpack one because portable ones eat your mats if you walk away, and Corvette refiner's eat your mats if you do any kind of space travel. That's really fucking frustrating. Any Corvette processor is useless because of this

>>720641107
I'm enjoying it for now, I might get 100 hours out of it before shelving it forever. That said I got a lot more enjoyment out of Elite Dangerous, I put around 300 hours into it before I felt like I did everything worth doing.

they have a rare probability of being in water systems and a paradise planet naturally doesnt have sentinels but if u find one close to paradise conditions with sentinels just find a sentinel boundary map then disable sentinels on the entire planet.
its the yellow systems where paradise planets appear.
ik the feel i look for them to just for bases and to make new screenshot wallpapers with.
the fastest way to look is warping in your freighter then doing a full system scan then checking planets that way.
good luck, see u at teh anomaly.

This game is nothing but constant waypoints and quests. It's just that all you do when you reach the waypoint is hold down X to read a bunch of nonsense then fly to another waypoint to do this same thing. Repeat this an infinite amount of times.

how do you actually navigate in this game?

I fell like I'm missing something

Go to the discovery tab and you'll see every planet in the system. If you have a freighter with a scanner room, use that and you'll instantly discover every planet which lets you see what resources it has and what biome it is.

Those are the 2 main missions, one is atlas path and the other is artemis (aka main story)
Both of them are absolute trash and they include the worst parts of the game but you have to finish both to actually start playing the game

I'm always baffled by retards who talk about the "engoodening" of this shit. It still sucks. Proc gen fucking sucks. No amount of gimmicky crap tacked on top will ever change the barebones structure underneath.

the updated atlas path to get all the glyphs was a much needed upgrade as warping into a system 1 of 20 times to get lucky and meet a traveler to find a glyph was a very very annoying grind.

pro tip. after u get flying and the warp drive, just look for a planet with salvagable scrap, farm up maybe just 5 of these drops and u have enough to either build a spaceship or buy really anything u see at a space station.
fastest way to build credits now.
land, use scanner mark salvage scrap location, fly to it, farm it, repeat.
the parts sell for a lot or if u get lucky u can just use them to build a spaceship which is more ideal than using a trad ship (unless its a sentinel ship bc they are very very fast)

>>720664738
Build a base computer and a teleporter. Claim the broken ship as yours. Teleport to space station. Your broken landing gear/engine are now repaired. You can either A) scrap it for a part module or sell it for sheckles (only do this if it's a shuttle type) or B) if it's a high-class ship just save it and trade down for a lower-class ship that isn't broken

getting to the end game takes about 40 hours providing you are mostly playing the objectives and actually know how to play well.
the games difficulty levels are highly customizable so feel free to explore that aspect to it if you dont have much time to play or want a more comfy less stress experience.
if u dont do the main atlas quest line which isnt that long (but requries other game progression to unlock) you cant get the runes to unlock portals.
pic rel is a system by system portal code that will place you within 3800 light years of the center of each galaxy you use it in.

Lol you're like that starfield shill who tried to defend that trash in a similar way. Both games are very alike in that they’re just loose collections of systems with no coherent design. Claiming that you need to be an explorer to enjoy these shitty games when it’s exactly the people who usually love exploring that get bored, is a bad joke. NMS is a completely brainless waste of time be it the first 2 hours or 20 hours later, with some of the ugliest aesthetics imaginable

>>720664240

Yeah, I don't get the "redemption arc". Even for an open world survival craft the game is grindy and has shitty progression. If you are supposed to just build a house it takes forever of digging up the stupid caches and going to the spaceball to unlock decorative blocks or anything interesting. No feeling of finding or crafting a new material you can use.
Combat both space and ground sucks.
I don't get it. I'd rather play minecraft or if you want space game, space engineers or something. Stationeers if you want autistic survival, Astroneers for a more casual exploration game.

After every NMS thread ending up like that I realized you have to be some kind of demented tard to enjoy it for any extended amount of time. Normal people just pop in to check on the new stuff, craft the new shit or do an expedition and then leave. Even that is just a mediocre experience, like checking out an art gallery you're never going to remember.

Have you ever encountered another player while out in space?

>>720669217
yeah its in the same place you change from 1st to 3rd person I think

Going by the reply chain, he's asking that anon to identify the unit of distance that the game uses, nothing is in feet or meters or anything like that. Shit is either some number of Us or Ks away from you.

>>720669725
I'm into space. NMS is just cartoonish to me. Most galaxies look like you're inside a skittle, the planets don't really feel like they matter nor do the aliens or plants. Just feels like I'm constantly popping minimal rewards while looking at mediocre procgen. The scale of planets, combat and flying feels better in Elite Dangerous, the aliens feel better in Mass Effect and even Starfield, the procgen and items feel better in Minecraft. Sometimes I just play a space modpack for Minecraft have a lot more fun there.

The combat is barely even combat. Dog fighting feels like shit. Base building is fine, but there's no real point to it besides creativity.
Every update adds a new mechanic that's absolutely fucking barebones and really adds nothing to the gameplay. "We added settlements" okay, they don't really do anything besides gives you money(that's useless) and a couple resources.
Big space game with NO ECONOMY because there are options to turn on infinite money and resources.

NMS is truly the kind of game that's reflective of your inner self

Why do these NMS fanboys always insist on comparing NMS to Starfield? You never see them try to say it's better than X4, Underspace, Freelancer, etc.
Is it because deep down they know that NMS is a total pile of dogshit so the only positive thing they can say about it is that it's at least better than some other pile of dog shit?

>>720670498
This but for Starfield.

>>720670498
>just make up shit the dev couldn't to make it fun

I rather RP in some 90s JRPG than do that with NMS. At that point any game is fantastic if you make up shit to compensate for it.

I wish the corvettes had bigger boarding ramps so I can just drive up an exocraft into the ship instead of getting off to walk up the ramp.

What would be the ideal space game?

>>720670498
I think you just have to be borderline retarded or high as shit. I've seen the Steam library of the people who defend this shit and claim it's an amazing game, and their library is a treasure trove of just terrible or boring taste in general.

There's just no enlightenment to have from this kusoge, sorry bro.

>>720670898
true, also some landing capsule like helldivers or a jump pad to use the robot

>>720670857
The tools are more than enough, RPing in NMS is no different than RPing in Daggerfall, Warcraft 3's sotdrp maps or mount & blade

>>720670667
Starfield is the only direct comparison, aside from maybe elite dangerous. X4 and freelancer do their shit better but nms has "more" gameplay systems to keep track of even though it isn't amazing at those extra systems

>>720670975
Doesn't mean anything, tons of great games have absolutely retarded fanboys with shit taste. It has been getting a lot worse those past ten years when even this website stopped gatekeeping anything

Yeah that's the point where I gave up. It completely betrays the main motivation of this stupid game, which is collecting shit. If it was merely single-player, you could say "just don't use cheats", except there's a multiplayer aspect to it, and you're forced to share gamespace with filthy cheaters.

>>720670498

>>720670906
A space horror game. Space should be eerie if not outright terrifying.

>>720671091
Starfield is a bethesda game set in space. I.e. it's quest and story centric with the space and base building as afterthoughts. It's probably the furthest from NMS as far as those comparisons are concerned.

>>720671204
Still a lot better than SC

Now you understand "fun" and "engaging" because people's ideas of fun is so diverse. Some people like shadow empire or star citizen but it's just masochism.

I wish. Would love a reason to finally let go.

>>720670906

>>720671256
There is no "options to turn on infinite money and resources" once you start your game. To have said infinite shit you need to start the game in creative mode.

>>720671462
I can understand people being into Elden Ring or Nightreign but this?

>>720670906
Pretty much the best parts of many space games combined together and then a good system to procgen abilities and items. Space is inherently too big to properly do a single game for. You need it to feel super big and to feel there's a huge variety of things to do and find which is impossible. So all games just focus down on a few aspects to spice up the general premise no one can currently fulfill.

>>720671353
From a game design philosophy you're right but from an on-paper list of gameplay mechanics I think they're pretty comparable. X4 and freelancer have a similar sandbox-style philosophy but base building, ship interiors, and on-foot gameplay aren't in freelancer or x4 to that extent. Even elite dangerous sucks on-foot

>>720671589
I actually have great taste, my favorite games are made up of objectively awesome titles like Jagged Alliance 2, Stalker SOC, Supreme Commander, Metroid Prime, Kenshi and many others. NMS is good

i dont know why they made crafting such a big part of this game. theres hardly any actual reason to build shit.

>>720670252
>doesnt realize the games default settings are made for a comfy enjoyable experience and that the higher difficulty settings in the game require u to fully upgrade like a pro and actually be good at combat because u will literally fucking die and never make it to the center without using portal cheese

Trying way too hard. Sometimes you just have to admit that you're not perfect, especially when you think NMS is a good game.

>>720671834
There doesn't need to be a reason to build shit. Building a base is an expression of creativity. Some people just enjoy doing that.

>there's really nothing to do as a team. The mission board is the same generic missions from anomoly
That's one of the funniest things I found about the corvette update. Yes, your buddies can ride around in your corvette if they want to (theoretically anyway, because like you mentioned they're broken as shit in multiplayer) but why would they want to? All they can do is sit there doing fuck all while you do the flying. Why sit around in some other dude's ship just jacking off while he does everything when it's more fun to just fly your own ship?

>>720672291
It just makes those games look worse by association when you pair it with NMS. It's getting embarrassing, just stop man.

>>720672495
I'm sorry for your taste.

>>720672257
Fallout 4 doesn't have prefabs

It's honestly nothing against NMS, it's just boring while other sandboxes can keep me interested. I don't even have anything against the autists who play it or the normies popping in just to check out the updates and then leave. But the retards who just can't understand someone not liking this game? Those people are mentally unwell creatures. This game is apparently the spongebob box of imagination but they can't imagine why someone wouldn't like a game? Sounds like imagination has nothing to do with and its just them happy with quantity over quality.

>What is the point?
This is a just a case of people not enjoying exploration and confusing not enjoying exploration with there being no content. You just dont like the content.

In a similar game like Terraria its a linear experience with no exploration. You know exact what each biomes has and gives, and which boss to kill to progress. You "explore" in the sense you have to find a zone but once you see it thats it, its explored. There isnt a point here either, you kill X which gives you Y which lets you kill Z and then you're done.

NMS exploration is baked into everything. You know that there are S tier multitools, S tier ships, S tier corvette crafting, and mechs/ground vehicles and bases to build, but how to do it isnt explained. You also know that vaguely better planets are closer to the center of the galaxy, and that you can interact with them but you have to find them. The exploration is figuring all the parts of above out which is the fun of it, unlike Terraria where everyone uses a wiki and everyone knows the whole game.

There is also a linear story if you really want that generic survivial crafter go to zone craft X do quest/boss fight go to zone repeat experience as well.

>>720672608

>>720672667
Terraria exploration is fun, has fun hazards to deal with, combat is good, items are fun and diverse. NMS shoots itself in the foot the moment you start seeing the same types of planets with the same items, same set up and at best just minor changes. NMS is unfocused and bakes in that sameness into everything.

>>720672539
uhhh ok nerd
you select an entire fucking building from a list and plop it on another building you already placed or the ground. there is literally no way to make a building in nms that is just an arbitrary size and shape unless you want to stack platform tiles one by one with the worst self aligning system ever made.

like imagine it is space engineers right and your build options are "the entire fucking thing", internal modules, and the 1x1 flat panels. that's it. that's what you got. every base looks the fucking same. nms is a joke because like 12 other games do exactly what it does but better. nms just does everything halfassed.

>>720672896
Yes. But also, the best flying and immersion of all the Space games. They're all shit games one way or another which is why I stick with starsector the pinnacle of space games.

>>720672960
What part of the game do you get a tom nook debt?

>>720673000
Terraria you kill X to kill Y. Its fun for a while but it has the exact same issue that NMS has. If you dont enjoy a linear experience you wont enjoy terraria. If you dont enjoy exploration you wont enjoy NMS.

all of the "muh space realism" games fucking suck
muh "it could be a scifi reality game" bc its a "space sim" is just fucking annoying
thats all star citizen even is, same thing for elite dangerous and many other space games out there
i dont want a fucking simulation
i want a game thats fun to play, and i just want to cruise around a universe and explore stuff, shoot pirates, and now build my own space ships.
muh space sims are too try hard for muh realism fags.
even star citizen who tries the hardest is still just a repulsive scam of a game. scam citizen.

>>720671353
This is 100% true, but that means we have to acknowledge that they are different types of games despite both being "space games". That's too hard for /v/ to understand.

>>720672667
>NMS exploration is baked into everything
And I think my issue is that there isn't enough reason TO explore though, and they've spent time on a lot of gay half-assed content in the meantime. Like settlements, this lame multiplayer mission shit that nobody wants to do, vehicles that are incredibly worthless for travel or exploring a planet because they're slow as god damn fuck. All this time that could have been spent fleshing out what the game was originally conceptualized to be about.
They finally added some new planets and then locked it behind a plot that discourages actual exploration in favor of doing the most monotonous questline they could think up, one that just makes you skip exploring so you can blast through it. And all it does in the meantime is show how repetitive the game is, both mechanically and visually when you have to land on yet another planet with the same flora.

>>720673123
>If you dont enjoy exploration you wont enjoy NMS.
>Terraria you kill X to kill Y.
This is just reductive and ignores Terraria's other features while only focusing on one feature of NMS.

>>720672770
There aren't any prefabs unless you stall them with mods. You build primarily with foundation ma and panels

>>720673123
damn I enjoyed Terraria enough to put in a few hundred hours, while NMS only last like 20-30 hours lmao. Guess you're wrong again.

>>720672960
2 farms to S tier and one warehouse to A tier does it

>>720672667
There's no "exploration". Evenly spaced PoIs of like 5 types are not exploration. There's nothing to find. You click on word stones, you get equipment upgrades. Getting ships is a question of talking to every alien and finding one that would sell you one or finding distress beacon coordinates. Tools are same shit, you get one randomly because you picked a right dialogue option in response to alien gibberish.
To be exploration you have to explore something, there has to be mystery and hints. Going from point to point doing the same 2 minigames until you roll an S-tier that is functionally identical except it has higher numbers and more slots is not exploration. It's busywork grind.

>>720673235
There isnt any reason to kill anything in terraria either. Other than to follow the set linear pathway that is put in front of you.

>>720673241
Its not reductive any more than people saying there is nothing to do in NMS. The dopamine you get from terraria is by the developer holding you hand and giving you Y after you kill X. The dopamine you get from NMS is figuring out how to do Y then you get X.

Both are the same in the end. Its dopamine for either being told to do X or being told to figure X out. But to say NMS has no content is to say games like Terraria have no content.

Sounds like baby's first sandbox or something, like content has finally been dumbed down enough for them.

>>720673464
Exploration only really exists if it's hand made. It's like reading a book made by an algorithm versus one actually written by a person

Retards trying to argue about how NMS has exploration reminded me of Outer Wilds, a game that actually does exploration right. NMS is just an openworld collectable with extra steps. Even worse actually because none of the collectables have any rhyme or reason due to it being procedurally generated.

>>720673763
What you want is your hand held by a developer and told you get dopamine at set points. Its ok to like that, but its linear not exploration.

>>720673545
>no content
I never said that. It's boring content, samey content. Terraria has events, way more interesting items, different builds, biomes that corrupt or can be changed and spread, fun npcs to interact with, and even the exploration as you fly/dig/swim is way better and much different than NMS. It's not the boss rush game you are making it out to be, though it could be if you wanted it to be. This is full strawmanning.

>explains why it's not exploration
>it's exploration tho
No it's not. Exploration requires a place to explore and something to find, NMS has neither.

>>720673817
NMS exploration is like trying to find out where you shit in the toilet ends up. Keep on following the shit trail, shit explorer.

>>720673859
Also while each biome is randomly generated it still has a purpose within the actual overall game. They'll have unique resources, bosses, enemies, and items.

>>720673859
Exploration just isnt for you.

>>720673945
It has both.

>>720673946
And linear games are like someone leading you to a toilet and telling you to shit. Good boy, you do your little poops, here is your dopamine.

Good boy, you post again and ill reply so you can get your linear dopamine.

You can put a mission terminal, refinery and planting boxes. Not a whole base and all the base components, but you can now use the corvette to build sky bases and land there.

>>720674327
I'm going to call games like Peak and exploration game from now on.

the Roamer exocraft btw has a nice feature that allows u to scan for monoliths in case u need to find a portal anywhere.
not entirely useless now is it? stick with minecraft, its a simpler game than NMS that u may be able to enjoy more.

>>720674504
You also get your linked storage. The refiner/food processor sucks because if you warp or walk too far away from your ship it'll eat the mats. Exactly like base refiners, now that I think about it.

>>720673550
But how's the exploration?

>>720673545
Killing in terraria can get you a lot though, from new furniture and access to content to gain new furniture styles, to new NPCs, both from regular enemy encounters or bosses.
The equivalent of this in NMS is taping a scanner to your face and searching for the same thing over and over and over and then buying the blueprints from the anomaly or following the boring series of questlines from your recruits.

I'm actually not a huge fan of bosses in Terraria and I think building arenas is the Big Gay, but as a builderfag its nice seeing my bases progress with new NPCs and adding a base+teleporter to every biome and enjoying the happiness bonuses that come with that, unlocking new objects, items and furnishings.
From that standpoint, NMS lacks, because most planets are lackluster as hell and building a base feels redundant besides doing it for the sake of doing it. They could have integrated the settlement shit into base building and it might have solved half my complaints with that aspect.
You CAN have exploration and purpose.

>>720674668
Anon you cant convince linear dopamine addicts that figuring out stuff on your own is interesting. They can only play games with waypoints like Ubisoft or Bethesda games.

>>720673730
I think some amount of procgen it's still possible to be exploration. Like arranging a dungeon from different tiles or something or if it's complex enough for navigating the environment itself to be interesting.
It's really the PoI that are bad. You don't find something fun or useful organically, you run to the next point on the map with nothing in between.

>>720674871
Base building is pointless in Terraria to the point where commie blocks is the most common description of building in the game. Just like NMS you also dont "need" to do it ever.

So no. You are simply reductionist on games you dont understand and misrepresenting games you enjoy. You lack objective analysis skills.

>>720674876
You mean like the waypoints in NMS that point you to the only interactable objects and there's nothing to see in between them?

>>720674975
>You don't find something fun or useful organically, you run to the next point on the map with nothing in between.
Yeah this was one of the biggest issues with Starfield is that the in-between areas weren't really populated with interesting stuff. Which is odd because I'm pretty sure the game supports a system for that (since it can put down craters and canyons and caves)

You lack objective analysis skills, he says, while calling Terraria a "boss rush" game when it has more to do than NMS. Actual jej.

>>720675148
NMS can fix itself. It just needs to have ten times minimum the points of interest that can generate, let progression happen without needing to constantly shoot rocks, and make space not just a glorified loading screen.

>>720675094
You have to explore to find those

>>720675056
Since the addition of portals, commie blocks actually have fallen out of favor since clustering all of your NPCs together in one base results in lowered happiness, meaning access to less of their inventory or interactions. It's very nice having quick access to biomes or deep underground without relying on just the teleportation mirror and a big hole.

If it was much denser starfiled might have been tolerable. Like, either make it closer to not have boring runs or generate more interesting terrain. Starfield has incredibly boring features. It's mostly just flat.

How many times has some NMSfag said this? If that's the case then NMS is nothing special.

There's a few planets that have a lot more variation and verticality but by and large it's the same problem with almost all these very large planet scale proc gen games: it's just boring going between points of interest.

>>720676006
the landscape isnt empty idiot.
build a rover, then use the fucking scanner instead of just flying to waypoints.
u will find a ton of stuff inbetween.
alternatively u can set your corvette into autopilot mode and scan for buildings,etc while you are moving toward your destination

>>720675714
Subnautica is a handcrafted map there's a reason to explore to unlock new blueprints and new resources that allow you to go further and deeper.

>>720676164
>that allow you to go further and deeper
literally the same progression pattern with unlocking new tech in NMS

>>720676241
In NMS to unlock stuff not by finding and building it but by repeatedly digging up buried cashes and flying to spaceball (or your base) to spend them. There's barely any unlocks that change what you can do (and different coloured stars are functionally identical) and game has very few resources most of which you can get right from the start or buy at worst.

NMS is too deep and richly immersed in a vast array of scifi kinos for a simple minded ADHD highschool dropout like yourself to be able to 1) appreciate 2) enjoy and 3) understand its the best space game ever made by a dozen white guys.

Game would improve ten fold if it copied the method of unlocking new furnishings the way Subnautica did it (by exploring places and scanning the furniture or objects to unlock recipes). That'd be a pretty nice incentive to explore abandoned locations or the different designs of planet bases.
Unfortunately most of the variety of things in the game is just the shells of buildings or space stations.

Big thing Underspace does right that NMS needs to take a page from is the hidden presence of danger. Very rarely do you know what you're getting into when you're approaching something mysterious and unknown. It could be harmless, it could be dangerous but yield a massive reward, or it could just outright spell your doom like the fucking unknown. Even when you DO know you're getting yourself into a dangerous situation, you usually don't know what you're going to be facing. Case in point, the storms. You can usually be sure that there's something in them that'll potentially fuck you up once you enter a system's nebula and see those writhing tentacles that indicate you're in the storm but until you get within a few KMs of the rift, you don't know what you'll be facing. It could be a squad of self replicating fighters, it could be a giant space snake, it could be a storm of exploding meteors than home in on your ship (fuck that one by the way), it could even be some fucking cosmic horror that's infested an entire space station and is wearing it as a shell like some kind of space hermit crab. That sense of danger is what makes exploration thrilling.
In NMS all the dangers are primarily confined to planets. The closest thing to danger you'll ever encounter in space are pirates. Everything dangerous planetside is neatly labeled with a big red exclamation mark over your scanner. Most of them are generally negligible threats as well and the few dangerous things that actually DO pose a serious threat require you to go out of your way for them to engage you, like how biological horrors only appear if you try to snatch a whispering egg from an abandoned building (and again, big red exclamation marks are displayed over the eggs in your scanner warning you not to pick them up). To put it simply, the game feels like it's baby proofed to make sure everything genuinely dangerous is placed behind safety measures which makes it boring.
